Album art is Black on iPod Classic cover flow

On a few (5 out of 500) albums, while the Art work looks fine in iTunes and when playing tracks on my iPod, they are just black squares in the cover flow on the iPod. Is there anything I can do to correct this?

*Rebuild artwork cache*
Sometimes the artwork cache becomes corrupt and fails to show correct artwork, even when this is properly set up in iTunes. To rebuild the artwork cache, connect your iPod to iTunes. Locate the iPod in the Sources pane on the left-hand side, then select the Music tab. Remove the tick from *Display album artwork on your iPod*, sync the iPod, reselect the option & sync again.
